2006 vw jetta tdi (mfd 10.2006)-i need a new key, and don't want to pay the dealer (obviously). i've been doing a lot of reading, but everything is still a little cloudy...
i have an mk5-that means immobilizer 4 i think. i bought a used previously cut key from ebay ($25), but it doesn't have a new transponder in it. i also bought a blade that will be cut for my car ($20) from some dudes in the UK from a picture that i emailed them. i have one key that works, and i have vcds. so...
1. i've read that cars after 06.2006 have an encryption on the immobilizer, and even with the skc, you can't program them with vcds, but that you HAVE to take it to the dealer-anyone know anything about this?
2. IF you can program it with the skc (or some other way), anyone know where i can buy a new transponder?...or will i just have to pay the $15 for an ebay key head?
3. IF only the dealer can program the new transponder, can i just take the one that i have (old key transponder), and put it in some silicon on my steering column and it work for both keys (old one + ebay key)?
thanks in advance for the help...and i'm sorry if this info is somewhere else and i missed it...i've just read a lot of conflicting info-especially about #1. thanks!
